Indian cricket team's head coach Rahul Dravid will be celebrating his 49th birthday on Tuesday with an eye on winning an elusive Test series in South Africa.

The third and final Test between India and South Africa will kick start from today and Dravid would be expecting a perfect start from his team on his birthday.

The first time when India won a Test in the Rainbow Nation, Dravid was at the helm of the affairs, and this time as a head coach, he has a sight-on series victory against South Africa as the three-match rubber is locked at 1-1.

The former Indian batter had an impressive record in South Africa as he is the second-highest run-getter for India only after master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar with 624 runs in 11 Test matches.
